I apologize for bothering the list with this, but I have some very basic 
questions about reading man pages.  I am a rank amateur with Unix and 
NetBSD and have just this week installed NetBSD on a Quantum 160 MB GO 
drive mounted to a Purple Bullet card in one of the NuBus slots in my 
IIci.

I am trying to add a user (myself), but I am having difficulty doing so.  
I have gone through O'Reilly and Assoc.'s _Learning the Unix Operating 
System_, IDG's _Unix for Dummies_ (in which group I currently qualify!) 
and IDG's _Unix Secrets_ by James C. Armstrong Jr.  None of these 
references tells me how I can access the man page passwd(5).  When I 
enter the command "man passwd" all I get is section 1.  That section does 
not give me the structure for the new user's entry in the master.passwd 
file.  The information I want is in passwd(5), but when I enter "man 
passwd(5)", I get a message about misplaced "("s.  The only page I can 
get is (1).

Also, using vipw to add a password for a new user, the file opens in 
vipw, but I can't seem to add a line after the last line of the file.  I 
have tried "G" to go to the end of the file, but that takes me to the 
beginning of the last line.  Using the arrow keys to get to the end of 
the last line and hitting return/enter does not work either.

I have ordered a number of other books on Unix, so I can try to teach 
myself what is going on here, but in the meantime, would someone please 
help me out?

Regards,

Sean
